How do I know if I need therapy?
This answer is different for everybody, but if you find yourself asking if life could be better, then there is no reason that you should be struggling on your own. When feelings of sadness, grief, conflict and overwhelm persist or interfere with daily activities, reaching out for support can help you navigate through these difficult emotions and experiences with compassion and understanding.
Seeking support and guidance during challenging times is a sign of strength, not weakness. It’s perfectly okay to ask for help when you need it. Taking the first step towards seeking support for your mental health can open up new possibilities for healing and growth.

Questions About Individual Therapy
Have other questions?
Why would I speak to a therapist instead of a friend?
Friends are great and it is important to reach out when you are struggling. However, therapists are trained to understand the roots of the difficulties you are facing and to work with you to find the right solutions. They are able to be objective in ways that friends and family often cannot. Lastly, everything that you speak to a therapist about remains confidential, which ensures that your privacy is maintained.
How do I know if I can afford therapy?
Most insurance plans will cover in whole or in part the fees for private therapy services. Fees for psychological services can be claimed under tax-deductible health care expenses on your income tax return. Additionally, Psychology Plus offers reduced rates when seeing qualifying therapists to help clients be able to receive therapeutic services at a price point they can afford.
How do I choose the right therapist for me?
Think of it as a first date. While credentials matter, success is largely based on your ability to feel comfortable and connect with your therapist. Our office offers initial consultation for clients to ensure you can find the right fit before committing for your comfort and well-being.
How is progress measured in therapy? What if I feel like it isn’t working?
After working with a therapist for a few sessions, you should begin to feel like there is a plan to move you forward and that you are developing tools to manage your difficulties better. You should begin to feel more hopeful and content about the future. If you are struggling, talk with your therapist, they can tailor things to better support you and meet your needs and challenges. You should never feel stuck or stagnant in your therapeutic process.
How long will it take to feel better?
The therapy process is individual, and so is healing. Your therapist should work with you to understand what healing entails and create a treatment plan with a timeline that meets your needs. While the end goal of “getting better” is difficult to name, you should find healing and relief as the therapeutic process unfolds.
